The judiciary committee of the
New Hampshire Legislature have sub
mitted their report on the bribery
charges, and their findings, as set
forth in bald consecutiveness. make
a black chapter. The majority find
that money was offered directly in
two cases for votes in favor of the
Hazen bill and in one in favor Of the
Atherton bill. that in four more mem
bers were given to understand that
their votes might be made pecuniari-
IL profitable, and in two Others Frank
Jones is represented in the unenyia-
bic light of manipulating his control
of railway patronage to compel legis-
lative support. Here is reason enough
and to spare for Gov. Sawyer's sue
cessive vetoes. Now let the New
Hampshire legislature take hold Of
this evil without gloves.

The Knights of Labor in their gen
eral assembly at Minneapolis, We'd
nesday of last week, did two things
which merit hearty commendation.
They voted that no national flag but
that Of the United States shall he
borne in their parades and that no
liquor shall be sold at their picnics.
No more red flags and no more free
fights is the intention of the order.
Now let them resolve that there shall
be no more interference with the chit
of every American to work where he
pleases for what wages satisfy him,
and labor organization will have
reached an ideal state of perfection

The amount of small coins in q

The amount of small coins in circu-
lation, and the growing proportion
which they bear to the total currency
of the country, Is a matter to which
comparatively little attention has been
paid, yet it is not without significance.
During the last fiscal year the mint
turned out S591,147 in cents, S552,-
$40 in nickels, and 81 ,O9j. 279. 80 in
dimes; and so great is the demand
for these coins in the business world
that the Philadelphia mint has So,
600 worth of orders ahead, and al
most despairs of making the supply
overtake the demand. This increas-
ed request fer minor coins is wing
in part, of course, to the general de-
Yelopment of the country, but more,
1t would seem, To the fact they are
fast coming into use in the south and
west.where they were for many years
scorned as utterly useless.

Just twelve months ago ycang man
named Saunders attempted to murder
his sweetheart in the streets of Hunting.
ton by statbing her with sword cane.
For that ofense he was sentenced to
fifteen years penal servitlde. After a
painful illness the girl gradually grew
better, but she always insisted that a
piece OF the sword blade had broken off
IN her body and was still there. Pro-
fessor Humphrey, Of Addenbrook's Hos.
pital, Cambridge, has just succeeded in
extracting from the girls body a piece Of
the steel blade more than six inches il
length. The most extraordinary fact
connected with the operation is that, al.
though the wound was in the girls chest.
the blade was extracted, broken end
first, from her back. It must have thus
turned completely round. Her recovery
is considered to be almost certain. Pail
